About our asbestos garage roof removal in Eel Pie Island
Not sure it’s asbestos? We can test a sample. Grey corrugated sheeting on a pre-2000 garage often is, but you cannot be certain by looking. People often contact us about old, cracked sheets and roofs to clear before demolition, involving cement gutters, cement wall panels and bargeboards.
In parts of London like Eel Pie Island, garages are often in blocks behind houses or on estates, so check who owns the block. We explain what we find in plain English, including when it’s better to leave a material in place.

Common questions in Eel Pie Island
My garage in Eel Pie Island has a grey corrugated roof. Is it asbestos?
Many garages built before 2000 have asbestos cement roofs, but not all. Only a test can confirm it.
Do you cover Eel Pie Island and the area around Twickenham station?
Yes, we cover Eel Pie Island, including the streets around Twickenham station.
Can you remove one roof in a block of garages?
Usually, if we can work safely alongside the neighbouring garages. Send us some photos.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
No: asbestos waste is hazardous and cannot go in skips, bins or recycling. It must go to a permitted site.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Can the roof be overclad?
Sometimes, if it’s sound, but cleaning and preparing it without disturbing the surface is difficult. Don’t pressure-wash it first.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes, of course. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Is garage roof removal licensed work?
Normally not: asbestos cement sheet removal is normally non-licensed under HSE guidance, but it must still be done properly.

Prices and what affects them
The cost depends on:
- Material and condition
- Waste quantity and disposal
- Travel and parking
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
Compare what each quote includes, not just the total: scope, method, waste disposal and paperwork.
Photos that help
Good photos help us plan and quote. Take them from a safe distance without touching the material:
- Where we could park
- A rough size or measurement
- A closer photo of the material, without touching it
- Labels, if any
For an accurate quote, tell us what you’ve found, where it is and what you’re planning. Then call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form.
Options to consider in Eel Pie Island
Be wary of a price that’s much lower than others: broken sheets, no controls or illegal dumping. Always ask for the consignment note. A price that looks too good to be true often is: proper controls, lab analysis and legal waste disposal cost money.

- Whether the work is licensed, notifiable non-licensed or non-licensed
- How the work will be done, and the controls used

- Keep children and pets indoors during the work
Avoid these
